Initially the driver has to pay the damages if anything besides the car was harmed or damaged but he can sue the passenger for the same amount and also for damage to the car.
The person who opens the door.
The insurance company of the car whose door was opened will pay for it.
The driver/passenger opening the door is at fault. Look it up under the traffic laws in your state.
driver of parked vehicle
The one backing out, because you should realize someone is opening a door.
the person who opened the door
Speaking from experience if a person opens their care door into a lane of traffic, they are responsible if it gets hit. If you legally go around a car that is double parked and the occupant opens their door and you hit it, they are responsible. Don't move. Call the police.
Nope... The passenger's actions are their own ! If they choose to open the door of a moving vehicle - they are responsible for their own injuries !
The passenger because he should have looked for cars before he opened the car door.
If the door opens from the outside it may be the child safety latch. Open the door and there will be a lever on the rear of the door move this to the off position.
If your the uninsured car was parked, and the door was already open when it was struck, then it would be the other drivers fault. If you are parked then you are classified as a permanent object, and you are treated just like all other permanent objects such as trees and signs. The other driver must have control of his vehicle at all times, and by hitting you while you were stationary and not moving, this was not the case, so he is at fault. Now if he was driving and you opened the door right as he was passing you, then the answer would not be as clear cut.
It completely depends on your state laws. In California it would not be, but in Utah it would.
